all on their own and as america mourns the passing of senator john mccain the campaign battle lines are already being drawn in his home state of arizona by candidates who have more in common with. also coming up. it's good to have you with us tonight federal police here in germany are on standby ready to deploy if the call comes from the eastern city of kept it's there have been two days of violent anti immigration protests and protests triggered by the fatal stabbing of a german man on sunday to migrants have been arrested in that killing opposition parties criticizing the police for acting too late and german chancellor angela merkel saying there's no place for heat in the streets of germany. violence

and unrest as protesters in cannes nets faced off on the one side groups to claim the city for themselves saying cabinets does not belong to foreigners on the other side counter-demonstrators saying they want the city to stand for openness the german government has been following the events in cannes that's chancellor angela merkel condemned the unrest busted and off because in what we saw there has no place in a country where the rule of law prevails we have video footage of people being hunted down and of gangs of rioters hatred on the streets i cannot stress enough that this is incompatible with the rule of law is going to fuel the k.f.t. and the protests in cabinets erupted over the fatal stabbing of a thirty five year old german man on sunday during a street festival police identified two suspects in the stabbing one man from iraq another from syria authorities have provided little information on the altercation that led to the stabbing but what is known about the case along with rumors

circulated online have inflame tensions encampments. robot. go down start to get out of a city they chant social media posts include videos depicting what appear to be vigilante attacks on people believed to be foreigners participants in the rightwing demonstrations say their anger by crimes in the city but also at how the media presents what's happening on every evening this trouble encounters between groups i don't want to say it's only the foreigners but with this plenty of troublemakers. if you want to go out you can't go into the city without being scared of what might happen. i wouldn't call myself part of the mob and i don't want anybody calling me that just because i'm standing here. politicians continue to warn against vigilante justice yet following two days of violence can and the state of sex any remain on edge. or we see. this violence in xena phobia better

ponselle it is a professor at dresden technical university specializes in populist movements in eastern germany he joins me tonight from dresden profesor pods and it's good to have you on the program eastern germany has the smallest numbers of migrants in foreigners than any region of the country yet it is a hotbed for right wing extremism and zina phobia why well there is a quite easily understandable reason for that seat with germany increased its percentage of foreigners in the country from ciro after the to something like twenty eight to twenty five per cent in a number of tea cakes that is slowly in east germany the percentage increase during the last five six seven years from zero to something close to ten percent so the dynamics between migration much higher in east germany then invest chimney and so

if the reaction of the society against immigration which a significant minority of the people here doesn't want to have there's an interesting observation when it has to do really with numbers i'd like to point out something that happened last week in eastern germany eight t.v. news crew trying to cover a right so far right demonstration was detained by police for about an hour now this video that we're watching has been released and it shows a member of a far right group. confronting the journalist what it turns out that man is an employee of the state criminal police department now there are demands for an investigation into this how serious is the danger in germany of the far right infiltrating the police. there is without any

doubt significant percentage of police people who sympathize with. movement with the a.f. t. because they feel being left alone by politics because the number of policemen has been cut down significantly during the last years such that the birth load imposed on the single policeman is much higher than it ever was and police experiences on the street that they were hated nearly hated by leftists whereas if they protect their own stray sions of writing demonstrators they're welcomed and people are grateful to them and this without any doubt is not without results in how policeman perceive about the political situation but it would be highly exaggerated to say well there is infiltration of the police by right wing extremists this is not the case but the sympathy is clearly not on the left side as

far as policemen are conserved in germany. and since you have said that use fear that kim is just the beginning what do you mean by that. see the political elites the intellect elites in germany comes from germany into a multi-ethnic and multicultural society which has been happening in west germany for many decades such that such as a society is something quite common in many cities and parts of this germany but the transformation of a society so far not being multi-ethnic and multicultural into such a society is a process which will not go on without any conflicts any struggles input he couldn't not if the east german society which strongly dislikes being similar to some problematic areas invest money if this society reacts and even revolts

against this transformation and this is why i feel that my best educated guess is that such clashes streets in particular it is jealous that it will be able in the future israel what developed calls that we have been seeing from the on the far right political party b.f.d. a member of the in the parliament here in berlin using social media and telling people to begin protecting themselves that's a call for vigilante justice how in the world should the government or the police for that matter respond to that. well it must be clear that the monarch probably. legitimately accepting power and even power against citizens rests with the state with the police and there is

no right to. own discretion and they always not even the truth of it because usually there is safety. and of course many people get the feeling that the safety situation has deteriorated but it's simply not the case that it will be necessary to step in for the state of the police and this must be made clear and it can be make clear often enough professor venter ponselle joining us. we appreciate your insights and your time professor thank you but here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world the united nations human rights council says that all sides in the yemen conflict may have committed war crimes a report by three experts says that children have been the most vulnerable people in the conflict saudi arabia is supporting the yemeni government against the rebels

who are backed by iran prosecutors at the international criminal court are calling for the conviction of former congo warlord bosco into gonda on charges including murder rape conscripting child soldiers and sexual slavery into god and faces eighteen counts for his role in the deadly conflict in the democratic republic of congo fifteen years ago he denies the charges. washington says the international court of justice has no authority to force the u.s. to lift its sanctions against iran iranian lawyers have demanded that the un court stop economic sanctions re imposed by washington over tehran's nuclear program the u.s. state department says that the sanctions are a matter of national security. well experts from around the world are meeting in geneva switzerland to discuss the future of killer robots now these all thomas lethal autonomous weapon systems can operate in kill without human guidance critics

are calling for the new generation of weaponry to be banned globally before it ever goes into mass production. germany's armed forces already make use of semi autonomous weapons base and offenses too can seek out targets on its own. for now soldiers still have to give the order to fire but fully autonomous weapons are being developed they can select and attack targets without humans at the controls. they're highly controversial supporters say the new weapons are needed in modern warfare and will help people make ethically responsible decisions. warfare is becoming so fast right now that human beings are not capable of making intelligent informed decisions like they could in the past shouldn't have voiced concerns that autonomous weapons could diminish human responsibility in war we don't want to have happen is robotic systems out there causes some kind of mass casualty event and we

know humans have all. these activists in berlin are protesting against autonomous weapons they want the german government to campaign for them to be banned worldwide . what's dangerous about artificial intelligence and robotics is that they're altogether removed from human decision making about good and evil about what's useful for people and what's not about a concrete situation human intelligence is still required for that. an international ban on autonomous weapons systems would only be possible with the unanimous support of the united nations but with the u.s. and russia both opposed that's highly unlikely. and joining me tonight is known sharkey he's a professor of artificial intelligence and robotics at the university of sheffield in the u.k. he joins me via skype tonight from geneva switzerland where he's attending that you

in conference mr sharkey it's good to have you on the show let me ask you about this current says under way right now the u.s. china and russia it doesn't look like they are going to sign on to any ban so is it even worth talking about. that's not true what you just set china have said they want the provisional thomas weapons they sent it all and they said it again this week we have twenty six nations who have signed on for prohibition and tomorrow there will be various statements to show movies supports war we'll be here for five years and it's been a long slow struggle and it's becoming coming to fruition we could really do with germany being on site though because you're coalition government twice in two elections have said they would. thomas weapons there's been a parliamentary questioning recently and germany has made it very clear that they

will never use it on the weapons systems and that the don't want ever developed them but their idea is to go for a political declaration at the u.n. and i don't like that. and why you mr sharp do you think a political declaration does that have less teeth then outright ban would have. yes and it's not really it's if they're working with france and france is late the a is that we just need a political declaration and it should stop there whereas germany says that a political director. critical tonight can say that we're not or a sensor creation base and yes it should be an intermediate step towards so this difference and we don't know whether to be able to resolve that difference in time but we're hoping that by the end of this week we will get a new man the it's for next year to start negotiating a new international law and what the international law will be. i don't know who

will be there pushing our to get a complete who have mission and it's not that we want a prohibition of the weapon it's what we're asking for is that all weapons should have meaningful suman control that seems reasonable and let's assume that a prohibition of some sort is you know is realized there isn't it similar to what was done with chemical weapons in the last century you also have somewhat of a global ban on that and yet as we see for example in syria chemical weapons are still used is that the same type of future we're going to be looking at with these killer robots. well of course i mean you can't stop anyone from using them but what happens is the international community turn to saddam and statement isis that the international community have not been happy with what happened to syria at all and they will they you know they're they're putting strong sanctions on russia as well

you know the whole turns of this you don't have a law you let it let for it let's non-serious start until everyone has it and this is totally illegal it's you draw all straight line not many people will use and you'll get the person but they won't be able to do it for long and that's why it's important the law isn't perfect mr circular me just ask you before we run out of time here where are we in terms of technology do we how close are we to seeing killer robots being at ready you know to hit the battlefields and to be mass produced we're extremely close russia's working very hard at the united states of prototypes of fighter jets forms of lots of things submarines and battleships so it's moving very quickly china also quite a few weapons and israel israel's another big maker so a u.k. . so this could be the for the role that tomorrow things needed but of course they

wouldn't be very compliant with the laws of war and that's one of the trouble things i don't think they will ever be really compliant with the laws of war and be able to reliably discriminate between military and civilian targets but if we weren't too worried about that in those numbers situation all of a stand to be here tomorrow those arche joining us tonight from geneva switzerland mr shorten we certainly appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you you thank. all right from killer robots to killer deal making i guess you could say in a deal making potentially deal breaking not and certainly looking very different at least the u.s. saying that it still hopes to find common ground on trade with canada because of course it reached that initial agreement with mexico still u.s. president donald trump suggests yesterday he could still leave also out of a final deal to overhaul the north american free trade agreement if the two sides

fail to reach a compromise he's pressing canada to accept new terms for the way car imports are taxed and there's a lot at stake mutual trade between the three nations totals more than a trillion dollars every year. canada's nafta negotiator foreign minister chrystia freeland interrupted a trip to europe to rush back to washington to begin talks with her u.s. and mexican counterparts stand for she wants her country to remain part of a trilateral tact women's rights u.s. treasury secretary steven minutia believes washington could strike a trade deal with this week everybody he said their markets are very intertwined so it's important to reach an agreement the president is objective is to have deals with mexico and have a deal with canada and if we could do it as one deal would do it one deal if we do it in two deals will do it two deals with minutia expressed optimism that ottawa

would agree to changes this is a complicated agreement there's lots of things in here that are all new i would think the candidate would be very much on board with a stronger intellectual property a stronger protections modernizing the agreement so i'm hopeful that the open issues with canada can be resolved quickly and they're going to come without a deal u.s. president donald trump has threatened to impose tariffs on canadian made vehicles but that could weigh on the on a motive sector on both sides of the border because the neighbors rely heavily on each other's components if talks with canada are not wrapped up by the end of this week trump only plans to seek approval from congress for the bilateral deal with mexico. has given a small financial correspondent stateside ends quote is on the story from new york ends with her from the u.s. on this story what about canada in all of this can we expect them to acquiesce so easily. well trade representatives at least in

a washington believe that canada is far more dependent on the us than advise worser and to a certain degree there is some truth to that about seventy five percent of all experts from canada goes south the border meaning to the united states of the trade balance between the two countries is almost even but as canada is as small as is a far smaller economy they do depend more on the us and then the other way around if that will actually lead to an agreement as we've seen it was mexico on monday remains to be seen and talking trade games the us trade balance numbers are out and i don't think they're likely to make the present specially happy all they. know donald trump won't be happy when he sees the figures or on the other side he might

find another argument for his tough trade negotiations the trade balance actually increase the deficit increased by a good six percent and reach the highest level since february but to a certain degree there is a good reason why america why the us is importing much more than they're exporting because the u.s. economy is really strong at this point are we just on tuesday got a new figures on consumer confidence it being the highest mark in about eighteen years here was the strong u.s. economy or was stronger consumers was an unemployment rate at almost a fifty year. people by more consume more so it's also the strengths of the united states why people. buy more and import more so there is in that sense a positive reason why the deficit increased by so much. financial correspondent yens kota thanks very much. the italian pilots union a and p.

memorial to pay tribute to the late senator. but one of the things that i admired the most going about him was a drive that people lived on something and it wasn't being done they would know he got mad about it. he stood his ground pretty years stresses that he was easy to get along with says tommy espinosa. the latino advocate in the senate who were close friends for over thirty j. is obviously younger my so close that mccain asked espinosa to be a key player in his senatorial campaigns. john i said you know i'm a democrat so i'm not sure it's going to get you any votes you know and he said i don't care you're my friend i want you to be my co-chair i said well let me sleep on it because no i want to know has sir yes or no that. yes. espinosa says he wants to attend every single ceremony in honor of the senator

who will first lie in state at the arizona state capitol. arizona is on a ring one of its most influential politicians on the national stage john mccain was one of the last republicans standing up to president trump he believed in bipartisanship at home and strong alliances overseas but it seems that the worth of mccain's debts his brand of conservatism is losing out that republican party is increasingly taken over by the president's rentals divisiveness and isolationism the one man who typifies that divisiveness is joe arpaio he's one of the three candidates running in the republican primary for arizona's second senate seat which will be up for grabs in the november midterm elections the former sheriff and controversial immigration hardliners supports trump one hundred percent a lot of people. maybe would never run for office or a not controversial

a lot of controversial want to. help the president were before. standard policy. all republican candidates in arizona have embraced trump and distanced themselves from mccain his life will be honored over the next days but his party seems to have moved away from his ideals. well thousands of devoted fans are lining up in detroit michigan to pay their last respects to the queen of soul aretha franklin's body is lying in state in her hometown of detroit a private funeral will take place on friday the seventy third six year old died earlier this month from pain create a cancer. everything franklins fans mourn her death. the body of the queen of soul who died nearly two weeks ago lying in state in
